Eternity

Shot in Wellington, Hawke’s Bay and Hong Kong, Eternity is a rare homegrown sci-fi feature. In a virtual world, detective Richard Manning (Elliot Travers) must solve a case where the fictional suspects were all in the next room to the murder, while he battles a memory-eroding virus that may have real world consequences. Director Alex Galvin’s stylish, globetrotting whodunnit was rendered on a shoestring budget. Scenes and some post-production was done in Kong Kong, after Galvin's first movie When Night Falls impressed Hong Kong-based producer Eric Stark.

I want Eternity to be an inspiration to other filmmakers. That, with the technology we have now, you can make something quite low-budget that can still look really good, as long as you're willing to put in the time and effort and care and love. My aim was to make the most beautiful and stylistic New Zealand film that we could.
